Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
Climate experience post.
Speaking from personal experience, the body’s ability to adjust to certain climate is an amazing one.
Having lived in the PNW climate for over 3 decades I wanted to find out how long it would take for my body to adjust to the heat here in SE Asia. I’ve been here since April 23 and the first couple days were absolutely brutal with the heat and humidity. However, after the first week, my body was slowly starting to adjust and now, little more than 2 weeks I’ve been here this heat feels “ normal” — so for me, it didn’t take that long. The biggest thing is to remain hydrated.
Fwiw, the humidity is still shitty, but feeling less sticky and icky. Still need the AC to comfortably sleep at night.
I’ll be here until the end of this month, quite curious to know what it “feels” like by then.
